We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, ages 18-65, who have obesity with a body mass index of 30-45…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin…
The main purpose of this research study is to determine the effect of the study drug compared to placebo in increasing red blood cell counts and reducing the severity of symptoms of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). A placebo is a dummy drug: it looks like the study drug but contains no medicine. Subjects being asked to take part in…

Insulin is the main hormone (chemical signal) that the body uses to lower the levels of sugar in the blood. We are interested in looking at insulin levels because we think that lowering insulin levels may…
We are recruiting healthy volunteers, aged 18-65, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liverdisease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone,…
